We're the mighty watchful eye

Guardians beyond the blue

The invisible front line

Warfighters brave and true

Boldly reaching. into space

There's no limit to our sky

Standing guard both night and day

We're the Space Force from on high

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
It seems strange seeing the vehicles and uniforms in public.

Proper martial played on bagpipes
- that logo is troublesome though -
Has a Colombia mission patch vibe

STS-107 Day 17 Final Wake Up Calls

A good moral story - Eye In The Sky

hmmm. Chilling.
I'd just been listening to Les Barker's 1992 Such a War Has Never Been but he was thinking a bit deeper.

I fight the force of evil
I’m the cowboy dressed in white
My colt is my computer
And my eyes see at night

I made the new world order
For I have the world’s support
To see the sinner never wins
To see the tyrant will be taught

I am killer with precision
With computer and with screen
To give the world a cleaner war
A purer war than any seen

Incinerate the spider
Leave untouched the web of lace
See the shadow of a dollar
From a satellite in space

Put a missile down an airshaft
Make a film as I go in
Show the world the care I took
Such a war has never been

I don’t need to kill civilians
With the F15 and Stealth;
Advertised on your TV I’m
Sensitivity itself

Just the aircraft on the ground
Just the hangars we put in
Just tanks and the supply lines
Such a war has never been

Just a game on my computer
See the screen move with my head
Pick out the cowboy dressed up all in black
Push a button and he’s dead

I can pinpoint to a pixel
Half a million in retreat
Identify the threat
And I can turn it to roast meat

Military targets
There were no dying cries
Just the smoke from burning soldiers
Getting in the widows’ eyes

I make the new world order
For I have the world’s support
To see the sinner never wins
To see the tyrant will be taught

Killer with precision
With computer and with screen,
To give the world a cleaner war
A purer war than any seen
